Explains complex analytic invariants of vector fields and foliations.

We develop a general theory for the existence of extremal Kähler metrics of Poincaré type in the sense of Auvray, defined on the complement of a toric divisor of a polarized toric variety. In the case when the divisor is smooth, we obtain a list of necessary conditions which must be satisfied for such a metric to exist…

Expands Euler-Poincare characteristic to supergeometry.

In this paper we extend and Poincare dualize the concept of Euler structures, introduced by Turaev for manifolds with vanishing Euler-Poincare characteristic, to arbitrary manifolds. We use the Poincare dual concept, co-Euler structures, to remove all geometric ambiguities from the Ray-Singer torsion by providing a sli…

Two types of nonvanishing results are presented for compact Kähler varieties.

We introduce a spectrum of monotone coarse invariants for metric measure spaces called Poincaré profiles. The two extremes of this spectrum determine the growth of the space, and the separation profile as defined by Benjamini--Schramm--Timár. In this paper we focus on properties of the Poincaré profiles of groups with …

For any compact and connected Lie group $G$ and any free abelian or free nilpotent group $Γ$ , we determine the cohomology of the path component of the trivial representation of the representation space (character variety) $Rep(Γ,G)_1$, with coefficients in a field $F$ with ${char} (F)$ either 0 or relatively prime to …

Moduli spaces of semi-stable real and quaternionic vector bundles of a fixed topological type admit a presentation as Lagrangian quotients, and can be embedded into the symplectic quotient corresponding to the moduli variety of semi-stable holomorphic vector bundles of fixed rank and degree on a smooth complex projecti…

The topology of $SU(3)$-representation varieties of the fundamental groups of planar webs so that the meridians are sent to matrices with trace equal to $-1$ are explored, and compared to data coming from spider evaluation of the webs. Corresponding to an evaluation of a web as a spider is a rooted tree. We associate t…

Short survey based on talk given at the Institut Henri Poincare January 17th 2012, during program on surface groups. The aim was to describe some background results before describing in detail (in subsequent talks) the results of [Boa11c] related to wild character varieties and irregular mapping class groups.

Given a smooth complex projective variety X and a smooth divisor D on X, we prove the existence of Hermitian-Einstein connections, with respect to a Poincaré-type metric on X - D, on polystable parabolic principal Higgs bundles with parabolic structure over D, satisfying certain conditions on its restriction to D.

We obtain defining equations of the smooth equivariant compactification of the Grassmannian of the complex associative $3$-planes in $\C^7$, which is the parametrizing variety of all quaternionic subalgebras of the algebra of complex octonions $\OO\cong \C^8$. By studying the torus fixed points, we compute the Poincaré…

In this paper we use the Morse theory of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional on the singular space of Higgs bundles on Riemann surfaces to compute the equivariant cohomology of the space of semistable U(2,1) and SU(2,1) Higgs bundles with fixed Toledo invariant. In the non-coprime case this gives new results about the topo…

Generalizes double transgression formulas on complex manifolds.

We describe the moduli space of stable rank 2 parabolic bundles over an elliptic curve with 3 marked points.

We prove a global residual formula in terms of logarithmic indices for one-dimensional holomorphic foliations, with isolated singularities, and logarithmic along normal crossing divisors. We also give a formula for the total sum of the logarithmic indices if the singular set of the foliation is contained in the invaria…

Based on a novel type of Sobolev-Poincaré inequality (for generalised weakly differentiable functions on varifolds), we establish a finite upper bound of the geodesic diameter of generalised compact connected surfaces-with-boundary of arbitrary dimension in Euclidean space in terms of the mean curvatures of the surface…

Proves Poincaré duality for Hopf algebroids with bijective antipode.

We develop a global Poincaré residue formula to study period integrals of families of complex manifolds. For any compact complex manifold $X$ equipped with a linear system $V^*$ of generically smooth CY hypersurfaces, the formula expresses period integrals in terms of a canonical global meromorphic top form on $X$. Two…

Extends Poincaré-Lefschetz duality to pairs of ∞-categories.

Uniform Poincaré inequalities established for various metric spaces.

We study a wide class of non-convex non-concave min-max games that generalizes over standard bilinear zero-sum games. In this class, players control the inputs of a smooth function whose output is being applied to a bilinear zero-sum game. This class of games is motivated by the indirect nature of the competition in Ge…

The study proves residual finiteness for certain lattice extensions and negatively curved projective varieties.

Proof outlined for 4D smooth Poincaré conjecture.

In this paper we consider the question of bounding the degree of an divisor $D$ invariant by a $\F$ holomorphic foliation, without rational first integral, on smooth algebraic variety $X$ in terms of degree of $\F$ and some invariants of $D$ and $X$. Particularly, if $\F$ is a foliation of degree $d$ on $\mathbb{P}_{\m…

The author connects Poincaré embeddings to Reidemeister traces and diagonal maps.

The paper shows plentiful non-homotopy finite Poincaré duality spaces.

We describe a class of real Banach manifolds, which classify $K^{-1}$. These manifolds are Grassmannians of (hermitian) lagrangian subspaces in a complex Hilbert space. Certain finite codimensional real subvarieties described by incidence relations define geometric representatives for the generators of the cohomology r…

New tool: relative Hopf invariant for Poincaré surgery.

The paper characterizes Ricci solitons on the Poincaré upper half plane.

We establish a number of foundational results on Poincaré spaces which result in several applications. One application settles an old conjecture of C.T.C. Wall in the affirmative. Another result shows that for any natural number n, there exists a finite CW pair $(X,Y)$ satisfying relative Poincaré duality in dimension …

Moduli space of genus zero stable maps to the projective three-space naturally carries a real structure such that the fixed locus is a moduli space for real rational spatial curves with real marked points. The latter is a normal projective real variety. The singular locus being in codimension at least two, a first Stie…

A special knot in the Poincaré sphere leads to a unique connected sum of lens spaces.

The current article stems from our study on the asymptotic behavior of holomorphic isometric embeddings of the Poincaré disk into bounded symmetric domains. As a first result we prove that any holomorphic curve exiting the boundary of a bounded symmetric domain $Ω$ must necessarily be asymptotically totally geodesic. A…

We prove a version of the Arezzo-Pacard-Singer blow-up theorem in the setting of Poincaré type metrics. We apply this to give new examples of extremal Poincaré type metrics. A key feature is an additional obstruction which has no analogue in the compact case. This condition is conjecturally related to ensuring the metr…
